After a three-week hiatus, Formula 1 returns for a brief flourish in Hungary this weekend before the August shutdown.
With nine races already in the books, half-distance at the Hungaroring will mark the middle of the campaign. Don't underestimate just how important what happens in Budapest will be to the shape of the season.
Many teams will have earmarked the August break for deciding on the balance of resources between developing the current car and working on their 2014 version.
While the widely-espoused idea of 'switching' to next year's car suddenly is a little crude (teams will long have had plans in place), there is some truth in it. A glance at the championship table after Hungary will tell you how to go about next year.
If you're in the championship hunt, the trick will be to allocate the minimum resources to developing your current car in order to win, while compromising next season's machine as little as possible. Even a shift of a couple of per cent of R&D time can make all the difference.
Likewise if you are overachieving, such as Force India, you might want to give yourself an extra little push just to help you get over the line ahead of McLaren this year.
As for the strugglers, they might opt to shift some working time and budget allocated for 2013 to '14. It's a logical move, particularly for those whose position in the pecking order is relatively stable.
In the drivers' championship, a win for Sebastian Vettel would give him at least a 32-point lead in the standings - a comfortable margin heading into the break.
Then again, at the same point last year Fernando Alonso was 40 points clear...
This weekend, Pirelli's definitive tyres for the rest of the season will be introduced.
After an interim tyre was used in Germany, the new rubber consists of the 2012 construction with the '13 compounds, and drivers gave them a cautious thumbs-up after trying them at the Silverstone young driver test last week.
The new tyres are expected to be more consistent through a stint, meaning that while there will be thermal degradation, it won't be as dramatic as seen previously.
This could have a serious bearing on strategy, with drivers able to push harder for longer than previously.
Combined with the reduction in the pitlane speed limit from 100km/h to 80km/h during the race, adding 3.1 seconds to the time needed to get through the pits, this will push teams towards making fewer pitstops.
Some claim that this weekend could produce the hottest grand prix on record. While it seems more likely that the temperature will fall just short of that, with the ambient potentially breaking the 40C barrier it's going to be hard work.
This will take not only a physical toll on the drivers, but will also have an effect on the competitive order. While the new Pirelli rubber might change things a little, the trend for the likes of Mercedes to struggle more when it's hot and for Lotus and Red Bull to thrive (see Bahrain and Germany in particular), means there will be some real winners and losers if the temperatures are sky-high.
Lotus came agonisingly close to claiming a second victory of the season at the Nurburgring three weeks ago.
The conditions in Hungary should suit the car and potentially allow both Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean to run at the front. The question is whether it will be possible to go one step further than both in Germany and here last year, where Raikkonen and Grosjean finished second and third.
If the Lotus does turn out to be the car of choice on Sunday, a lot will depend on qualifying performance. In Germany, neither Raikkonen nor Grosjean was able to gain track position over Vettel, partly thanks to having to make their way up from fourth and fifth on the grid.
This is where the tyre change might help Lotus. Previously this season, the Lotus drivers have struggled to get their front tyres into the temperature window consistently for a qualifying lap.
It is expected that the team will find this easier with the new rubber, which could mean Raikkonen and Grosjean will be close enough to use any extra range to jump ahead of the leaders at the first stops.
It remains to be seen how the new tyres change things, but high temperatures at the Hungaroring will likely spell bad news for Mercedes.
The squad is already on the back foot, having been banned from the young driver days for its controversial Pirelli tyre test, which took place at Barcelona after the Spanish GP.
With track temperatures soaring as high as 45C at Silverstone, the tyre knowledge it could have gathered there might prove crucial.
The Mercedes is, on average, the fastest car over a qualifying lap this season, but even if Nico Rosberg or Lewis Hamilton puts the car on pole, Sunday afternoon might be tough going.
But there remains the feeling that Mercedes is best placed to give Red Bull a run for its money in the championship. If it can pull off a victory, it will set up the second half of the season very well.

Police turn to eagles to bring down drones
I'm not sure if it's the technophobe in me or the nature-lover in me, but something about this video makes me smile inside.
Police in the Netherlands, concerned about the security threat posed by unmanned aerial drones, have enlisted eagles to bring them down.
The Dutch National Police Force announced that they've partnered with Danish company, Guard from Above, to train the birds, according to Global News.
Just as with police dogs, there's a potential that law enforcement might misuse its new-found ally. There are probably questions that could be raised from an animal rights perspective, as well. On top of that, I'd hate to think that eagles were somehow being used to abridge free speech.
But police officials emphasized the eagles won't be going after law-abiding drones, just those that are posing a security threat.
"There are situations in which drones are not allowed to fly. This has almost always to do with security," Mark Wiebe, innovation manager of the National Police, said in a press release. (No need to click that link unless you speak Dutch.)
The video above is from a demonstration National Police put on last Friday, during which one of the trained birds successfully tracked and brought down a standard commercial drone in mid-air.
It's almost as if the regal birds are taking back the sky, which, in our view, was their's to begin with.
Yes, I'm definitely seeing too much symbolism in it, but watching still makes me say, "Go Eagles!"

Reflections on the dog paddle
Throw a dog who has never gone swimming into a pool and, pretty much instantly, he'll start moving his four legs in a series of motions we've come to call the dog paddle.
Throw a human who has never gone swimming into a pool and — though the possibilities are much higher for helpless flailing about, cussing, drowning, or becoming traumatized for life — he may eventually come to his senses enough to try and work his way back to the side of the pool. He'll do so not using a butterfly stroke, breast stroke or Australian crawl, but by doing what dogs do.
The dog paddle: It's seemingly instinctual. It's primitive. And though we humans mostly outgrow it, it remains sort of the default mode of propelling ourselves through water.
Just how primitive it may be is under investigation by Dr. Frank Fish, a professor of biology at West Chester University who — maybe because of his name, maybe not — has spent most of his career studying how marine mammals swim.
Most recently, he has been studying the swimming motions of dogs, and he has concluded that they are very similar to the motions dogs use in trotting. That explains the ease with which most dogs can make the transition from land to water — requiring no lessons, and (generally) little coaxing: They basically propel themselves the same way in water as they do on land.
That their stride and strokes are nearly identical is interesting in itself, but Fish thinks it could also help explain how whales and dolphins ended up in the ocean.
Fish subscribes to the theory that marine mammals were intitially four-legged land dwellers who ventured into the water one day (likely dog paddling at first), decided they liked it better there, then evolved into such super swimmers that they no longer needed legs, or, for that matter, land.
For his research, Fish set up some underwater video cameras and enlisted eight volunteer dogs (including his own) of six different breeds, ranging from Yorkshire terrier to Newfoundland.
He borrowed a swimming pool used to rehabilitate horses at the University of Pennsylvania.
Analyzing the video, Fish and fellow researchers saw that dogs swim much like they run — with diagonal pairs of legs churning in unison, according to Science Daily. Fish presented his findings at the 2014 Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) meeting in Austin.
While there's plenty of dog research we'd categorize as a silly waste of time, we find all this pretty intriguing.
First, it reminds us that practice makes perfect — to think that long, long ago there might have been a couple of four-legged dolphins who didn't know how to swim, hesitating at the edge of the water: "I dunno, it looks dangerous … should we go in?"
Second, in an era when we're increasingly relying on computers to do our thinking for us, it serves as a warning that those muscles we don't use can disappear. It raises a host of interesting questions about our future, and our past.
Why is it we humans tend to dog paddle in our first encounters with water? Is that some sort of instinctual nod to a past when we got about on four legs, instead of two?
If cavemen had spent more time at the swimming hole, might we homo sapiens have evolved into something more amphibious?
Given that, might mermaids really exist?
It's kind of inspiring to think there might have been a day when dolphins, the planet's most graceful swimmers, were total klutzes in the water — that they started off splashing about with some awkward looking dog paddling and progressed to the point where they could actually leap out of the water.
It reminds us that, maybe, anything is possible with enough hard work — even when it comes to behaviors we might think are genetic and therefore unchangeable. Do we sometimes wear our genes too tightly, and allow them to restrict us from leaping into new things, and getting over old ones?
We wish Fish luck in unraveling how four-legged terrestrial forms evolved into no-legged, finned ones. And as long as the dogs involved in his research are having a good time — given Fish is letting his own dog be used in the study, we assume they are — we have no problem with them helping the professor prove his point.
In other words: Go Fish!

Would you eat your dog to stay alive?
Three days after his dog saved him from a bear in the Canadian wilderness, a stranded hiker ate his German shepherd to save himself from starvation.
Unable to find any food, Marco Lavoie, 44, killed his dog with a rock and ate him, according to the Canadian news agency QMI.
According to news reports, the first words the hiker uttered, after being found close to death by rescuers last week, were: "I want to get a new dog."
Lavoie — after a bear destroyed his canoe and food supply — was stranded for three months in the wilderness about 500 miles outside Montreal. After the bear attack, he sprained his ankle and was unable to hunt or find any other source of food, according to reports.
Lavoie, an experienced hiker who often spent weeks in the wilderness by himself, was rescued by helicopter on Wednesday. He'd lost 90 pounds and was suffering from hypothermia. He was listed in critical condition in a hospital in Northern Quebec.
Survival expert Andre Francois Bourbeau told the Toronto Sun that Lavoie's decision to eat his dog was a good one.
"He survived because he made good decisions. Eating his dog was one of them," said Borbeau, the author of a survival guide. "You have to be desperate, but there's no shame in (eating the dog)," said Bourbeau. "Hunger squeezes you so much that you would accept food that's not normally possible," said Bourbeau. "You can crave slugs and bugs."
I'm sure there are many others who hold that view, and who'd point out that man — by virtue of that "dominion" he has over other animals, by virtue of being the superior, more developed being, by virtue of his position atop civilized society — has every right to chow down on his dog when trapped in the wilderness with no other options available.
But we don't find much virtue at all in his actions.
We see more humanity in the dog, who loyally went along on his master's silly wilderness trip, scared off a bear to protect him, and — despite any hunger pangs he might have been experiencing, despite his master's hobbled condition — didn't make a meal of Lavoie.

Something to quack about
A new generation of Woestenducks entered the world Saturday, when the eggs laid by the duck named after my mother cracked open and at least eight — maybe more — ducklings emerged.
I was visiting Arbor Acres, the duck-crazy retirement community where my mother lives, and by the time I left that evening, eight of the eggs had hatched, and four more were about to, according to Bo Bowers, a resident who monitored the nest all day long from a nearby folding chair.
It was Bo who, when the Arbor Acres flock was dwindling last year, ordered 16 ducklings of various breeds, raised them in cages at his home until they were old enough to survive on their own, then released the newcomers — each named after a resident of the community — into the Arbor Acres pond.
The duck named after my mother was the first one to become pregnant. She built herself a nest of pine needles in which to lay her eggs under an azalea bush just outside the window of my mother's room.
Bo counted 13 eggs in her nest last week, but when he later found one had been stolen and destroyed, apparently by a crow, he saw a need for increased vigilance.
He put a little fence around the nest, then watched and waited all Saturday — getting up from time to time to chase off the geese and other ducks who approached.
Once all the ducklings emerged, Bo gently gathered them, placed them in a box and took them home, ensuring that, for the next six weeks, they won't become the victims of predators. Those include coyote, fox, crows, herons and at least one good-sized turtle who lives in the pond and, attacking from below, is believed to have pulled a few baby ducklings, bobbing along behind their mothers, into its depths.
On Saturday, I stepped outside my mother's room and asked Bo how many eggs he was sitting on, and whether he'd like to borrow my tent for the night. Despite my teasing, he let me get close enough to take a picture.
Mother duck sat firmly on her nest, protecting the unhatched eggs, and making sure none of the ducklings ventured off. I was able to see one who poked its head out (that's it under the hosta leaf, in the bottom right corner of the picture atop this post).
As news of the births spread, the crowd grew outside the window of my mother's room. Other residents, staff and even a security official showed up to take a look.
Bo was still sitting sentry when I left. One could argue that he's interfering with that whole "survival of the fittest" thing. But (being not particularly fit) I've never been a big fan of that. Besides, Bo, having brought the ducks to Arbor Acres, feels more than a little responsibility for them, and the second generation they are producing. He sees nothing wrong with giving them a headstart — at least until they're big enough to avoid the snapping jaws of the turtle that lurks beneath.
I agree. Long live the Woestenducks.

A farewell to the Pacific
On our last west coast afternoon, Ace and I were wearily headed back to the motel after spending the day touring Monterey when the beach beckoned.
Knowing our route was going to take us inland, that there'd be no more Pacific Ocean views in our travels, I decided we should soak in all we could before we left. Ace didn't object.
Marina State Beach was nearby, so I pulled in, only to see a sign that said dogs weren't allowed. Hang gliders have dibs, it seems. So I headed north, probably less than a mile, and saw two trails leading to the beach. With more than an hour until the sunset, I grabbed a dog-hair covered blanket from the car and we hiked up a sandy path to the highest dune I could find, overlooking the ocean.
Winds had blown its surface smooth, so there was not a track anywhere to be seen, except those we left behind us.
I curled up under the blanket, and the sun came out from behind the clouds, providing some warmth, but not quite enough considering the cold winds that were blowing. I also noticed, even with my eyes closed, that something kept blocking the sun out — not for long periods, like clouds do, but in quick flashes. I opened my eyes to see what it was — a hang glider.
So we can't hang out on your beach, but you can buzz our's? How fair is that? I shot him repeatedly, and some of the pictures came out okay.
Then I re-situated myself, head on my camera bag. Ace curled up next to me, then nosed his way under the blanket. I rearranged it so it would cover us both.
I thought a pre-sunset nap was in order, but Ace, after a few cozy minutes, felt otherwise. He decided it was playtime, so he started squirming around under the blanket, then sat up and looked me straight in the eye. I stared back, knowing that he was in perfectly still alert mode and that the slightest movement I made he would interpret as playing.
So I got up, and he ran circles around me. Then he repeatedly charged at me, veering at the last possible second, looping around and coming back again. It's our version of bullfighting — violence, blood, bull and cape free, though he does sometimes playfully snap at me when he passes by.
After 30 minutes of that, the sun began a quick descent. Ace lay still on the dune — which our playing had turned into a pockmarked mess — and watched with me.
Part of me, a very small part, felt as if I should smooth the dune out before I left, like I should have one of those little sand trap rakes golfers use and return it to its original condition.
The larger part of me said, naaaah, they were joyous divots, and merely temporary ones. Overnight winds would blow the dune smooth again — just as sure as the sun sets over the Pacific.

Steinbeck Country: Monterey or bust
"The beaches are clean where once they festered with fish guts and flies. The canneries which once put up a sickening stench are gone, their places filled with restaurants, antique shops and the like. They fish for tourists now, not pilchards, and that species they are not likely to wipe out."
John Steinbeck's return to a much-changed Monterey in 1960 was more bitter than sweet — he found it much improved cosmetically, and economically, but its old fishing character and its saltiness were gone.
It wasn't home anymore.
The town's transition from a sardine-based economy to a tourist-based one was well underway by then, and while that would ensure that Monterey would continue to thrive, seeing how much had been erased — fish guts and all — returned Steinbeck, a native of the area, to the kind of funk he seemed to teeter on the edge of, periodically, in "Travels with Charley."
"My return caused only confusion and uneasiness," he wrote. "… Tom Wolfe was right. You can't go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory."
If he were to return again today to this spic and span city by the sea, he'd likely be even more displeased. Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf are now full-fledged tourist attractions that, while giving nods to the past, no longer have much connection with it.
And, quite possibly, he'd be downright irate over how his name and likeness have become an integral part of the area's business and tourism marketing.
He probably wouldn't think much of the way his name has been seized by business operations large and small: Steinbeck Garden Inn, Steinbeck Jewelers, Steinbeck Mortgage, Steinbeck Travel, Steinbeck Credit Union, Steinbeck Country Bail Bonds.
Steinbeck shunned publicity. In fact, he once moved out of the area to avoid it. Maybe he'd be OK with his bust being on display, in Steinbeck Plaza, but to see his face flapping in the breeze on banners above the streets in Cannery Row? I'm guessing he wouldn't care for that.
The Steinbeck bust is right in the middle of things, and tourists regularly stop and have their photos taken with it. It faces away from the bay, toward the traffic, which probably wouldn't have been his preference, either. He stares, somewhat solemnly, into the distance. Not even Ace could get him to break into a smile.
Monterey, and the surrounding area makes much of its Steinbeck connection — Steinbeck Country, they call it — from the flatlands of Salinas to the hilly bayfront of Pacific Grove.
It was in the family cottage there, purchased by his father as a family retreat, that Steinbeck wrote several novels and got started on "Of Mice and Men."
Steinbeck stayed in the cottage with his wife Elaine, as he headed south through California and then back east on the trip that would become "Travels with Charley,"
He visited old haunts, at least those still standing, and old friends, at least those who were still around. Between the people who had died or moved away and the makeover the city had received, Steinbeck felt out of place.
"The place of my origin had changed, and having gone away I had not changed with it. In my memory it stood as it once did and its outward appearance confused and angered me."
Monterey was a new place. And Carmel, he wrote, "begun by starveling writers and unwanted painters, is now a community of the well-to-do and the retired. If Carmel's founders should return, they could not afford to live there…They would be instantly picked up as suspicious character and deported over the city line."
Ace and I visited Cannery Row, then drove by Steinbeck's former cottage in Pacific Grove to snap a quick photo. We found a nice spot, cliffside, near Lover's Point, to rest our weary paws.
We walked Fisherman's Wharf, which once served as the major port on the Pacific and whose fishermen once set off daily on quests for huge whales, and later tiny sardines — until overfishing brought the sardine industry, which thrived during the Depression, to a grinding halt in the 1950s. By 1960, as Steinbeck noted, tourists had become the city's salvation.
In the 50 years since, the supply of them has not depleted. I've visited Monterey several times, first in 1987, and a couple more times in the early 1990's, once for a story at Ford Ord, the once massive military base that was shut down in 1994. This visit, I was surprised to see mostly emptiness on the massive Army base by the sea, built in the 1940s to train soldiers for World War II. And surprised, too, that, given our times, it hadn't been reopened.
Funny how sardines are limited, but we seem to have an endless supply of wars. Even over-warring doesn't seem to bring an end to that industry.
Ace and I stayed at Motel 6 near what used to be Fort Ord, in a town called Marina, which I don't even remember existing when I was last here. But we spent most of our time in Monterey, which, despite all the tourists trappings, despite never being my home, still never fails to touch my soul.
It's not because of anything man has built; it's not because John Steinbeck slept here. It's the pockets of nature that still exist between the seafood restaurants and wax museums and souvenir shops and boutiques. It's the topography, the way the peninsula stretches into the bay, and the wildlife that, despite all man's tinkering, still call it home.
To me, that, more than anything else — moreso even than the famous writer — is what still gives salt-free Monterey character:
The pelicans, the gulls, the seals and sea lions and all the other squirmy sea life you can see, not just in the confines of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but in their natural habitat.
If I ever return — and I hope I do — that will be why.

Although Franklin County has a host of resources for women and children trying to escape abuse, it doesn't have one key component of a successful breakaway — a safe, long-term place for women and their children to call home.
One local group, Hannah's Refuge, has set out with a goal to help solve that problem.

A prospective homebuyer saw a lot more than expected while checking out a house in Jefferson County.
Authorities say a realtor was showing the home to a would-be buyer when they found the body of a man on the ground near the house.
The realtor called 911.
Authorities said it appears the man had been there for some time, based on the amount of decomposition.
The person was described as an adult male, between 5'8" and 5'10", with a medium build and a long black ponytail. He was wearing newer blue jeans, a grey t-shirt with the word "DECA," and brown work shoes.
Sheriff's officials say they have no leads to the man's identity so far.
Anyone with information is being urged to call the Jefferson County sheriff's office tip line

This is lovely. Great job on this. I can not believe it is a first project. Wow.
whoa! If that is your first attempt, that truly is amazing. I was thinking of something that would perhaps be more abstract as a first try. You obviously are a natural.Kimmiemama to 7one homemade and 6 adopted

I'm trying to get an adapterview to draw its child views properly, but am having trouble getting the child views of the views returned by the adapter to draw. Specifically, my adapter should be spitting out simple views like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
The getView() method of adapter does get invoked and does indeed return instances of this view to the adapterview. I've also put breakpoints in my adapterview and can see that there is a proper view hierarchy there - the root linear layout with a child textview object. However, when the adapter view lays out and draws the child views returned by the adapter, the inner textviews are not being drawn. I see the actual colored boxes corresponding to each cell, but not the text that should appear inside. Does anyone have an idea of why this could be happening? Below is the code in the onLayout() method of the adapter view that lays out the child views (which get added when I setAdapter() and will get updated as I scroll through the adapterview):
for (int idx = 0; idx < this.getChildCount(); idx++) {
if (idx != dragged)
Point xy = getCoorFromIndex(idx);
View child = getChildAt(idx);
child.layout(xy.x, xy.y, xy.x + childSize, xy.y + childSize); //view group will layout the children based on the sizes determined for available columns
int left = child.getLeft();
int right = child.getRight();
int top = child.getTop();
View tv = ((ViewGroup)child).getChildAt(0);
int tvleft = tv.getLeft();
int tvright = tv.getRight();
int tvtop = tv.getTop();
Log.i("dgv", "Here is info about main view ... left = " + left + "; right = " + right + "; top = " + top);
Log.i("dgv", "Here is info about text view ... left = " + tvleft + "; right = " + tvright + "; top = " + tvtop);

Freedom and Fetish in the Mission Encounter
The Anthropology of Christianity (Book 1)Across much of the postcolonial world, Christianity has often become inseparable from ideas and practices linking the concept of modernity to that of human emancipation. To explore these links, Webb Keane undertakes a rich ethnographic study of the century-long encounter, from the colonial Dutch East Indies to post-independence Indonesia, among Calvinist missionaries, their converts, and those who
Liberation Theologies in the United StatesIn the nascent United States, religion often functioned as a justifier of oppression. Yet while religious discourse buttressed such oppressive activities as slavery and the destruction of native populations, oppressed communities have also made use of religion to critique and challenge this abuse.

This imagery captured by the Hubble Space Telescope on May 19, 2016, depicts bright auroras on the planet Jupiter. Auroras are produced by the interaction of a planet's magnetic field with its atmosphere and the stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun (solar wind). These auroras are over a thousand times brighter than those seen on Earth and were captured using Hubble's far-ultraviolet-light detector. NASA was imaging Jupiter ahead of the July 2016 arrival of its Juno spacecraft that is scheduled to study the magnetic field of the largest planet in our Solar System.
The full-color footage of Jupiter was photographed at a different time as part of Hubble's Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) program, that annually captures global maps of the outer planets.

All Misanthropy
Guy fed up with phonies and frivolity falls for cute, phony, frivolous gal. We've got so many of that T-shirt, we're surprised Molière's stage comedy The Misanthrope wasn't about a musician from its 17th-century get-go. As it is, playwright Lauren Marshall painstakingly re-translated the French text several years back, preserving the rhyming-couplet structure but making it kind of seem to be about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.
This fall, though, the whole hot-tubbing, moshing shebang has gone from shoegaze to showmanship -- it's all about the metal. ASU School of Theatre and Film recruited Jason Steffen, who fronts local black-metal band Singularity, to compose and perform new music with Marshall's lyrics and star as hero/chump Alceste through Sunday, December 4 (with a T-giving break).

Google said it's no longer willing to censor Google.cn
"We have been briefed by Google on these allegations, which raise very serious concerns and questions. We look to the Chinese government for an explanation," Clinton said in a brief statement on Jan. 12. "The ability to operate with confidence in cyberspace is critical in a modern society and economy."
Google said in a post on the company's blog on Jan. 12 that in mid-December it detected "a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google." David Drummond, Google's senior vice president for corporate development and chief legal officer, wrote in the post that the company has evidence to suggest that a "primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists."
"These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered—combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the Web—have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China," Drummond said.
Google added that it was no longer willing to go along with the Chinese government and censor Google.cn, a version of Google for China.
"Over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all," Drummond wrote. "We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China."
Meanwhile, Xinhua, China's official news agency, ran an article today that paraphrased an official with China's State Council Information Office as saying Chinese Internet authorities were seeking more data on Google's statement.
Drummond said Google discovered that "at least twenty other large companies from a wide range of businesses—including the Internet, finance, technology, media and chemical sectors-—have been similarly targeted."
Drummond added that "as part of this investigation but independent of the attack on Google, we have discovered that the accounts of dozens of U.S.-, China- and Europe-based Gmail users who are advocates of human rights in China appear to have been routinely accessed by third parties."
Clinton said she would be giving a speech next week "on the centrality of Internet freedom in the 21st century" and said "we will have further comment on this matter as the facts become clear."

I have run into an issue where a lot of our support calls are about our images not loading because the user is blocking amazon s3 or a similar 3rd party service. I use 3rd party services for hosting images, video, and some javascript. Is there a way to detect through javascript if a client is blocking a domain so that we display a message instead of having the user contact support?
$.ajax 'http://aws.amazon.com/s3/',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'html'
complete: (e, xhr, settings) ->
if e.status == 200
console.log "Not Blocking S3"
console.log "Blocking S3"
Based on the comments I made an attempt at it, but it is still not working. It returns blocking when I have no blocks.
The above example coffeescript code does not work as I believe a security error occurs because it is doing an ajax on a different domain. Firebug shows the request in red, but says 200. e.status is returning 0.

Lift count : 3 x Chairlifts 8 x Drag-lifts
35km of pistes
Torgon is a small, Swiss resort, tucked away in a corner of the Portes Du Soleil, but still within short distance of Geneva. Whilst Torgon only has 35km of local slopes, it is connected to the huge Portes Du Soleil, with it's closest neighbours being La Chapelle d'Abondance and Chatel. A family oriented resort, quiet, with a beautiful view of Lake Geneva, the plain, and the Alps.
The other resorts either have more central slope access, or quick bus journeys to well connected areas. If you're looking for a less well known village but still want good access to the whole area, there are better options. The best that Torgon can offer is being hidden away from the crowds; quieter slopes, a few good runs, a peaceful, family vibe.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
Not anymore! This Kodak printer so far has been fantastic. The full size instruction manual (no cheap photocopied sheet of paper) explained the whole process from opening the box to connecting it to your network wirelessly. With step by step illustrations that were easy to follow. Within minutes it was up and running perfectly having automatically detected my network SSID and connecting when I typed in my security passphrase on its built in keypad.
What I like:
Easy installation. Nice print results. I haven't printed any photos yet so I don't know how they look. Included in the box are 3 sample sheets of 4x6 photo paper so I'll have to try it. It's totally wireless, so I placed in in an armoire centrally located in my home so it is accessible to everyone. The unit can be left on and after a selectable period of inactivity it powers down in energy saving mode. You don't need to turn it back on at all or wake it up. It automatically connects and prints when when a request is sent. Very nice feature. Also, it uses a separate printhead independent of the ink cartridges. I guess this way it ends up cheaper to buy ink because the printhead is not part of the cartridge itself. It comes with a nice comprehensive software package which completed the installation process flawlessly.
What I didn't like: It is a tad loud but nothing I can't deal with. When inputing a passphrase via the keypad it defaults to uppercase.Read more ›
Negatives. I printed one photo and nothing but black and white thereafter, black ink ran out and printer refused to print ANYTHING at that point. No problem, whatever, I bought more. A day later color empty notice pops up. What??? No problem, I'm only printing black anyway. Set for black only, no go. The printer will NOT print at all unless you refill the color cartridge as well. Don't tell me, Kodak, that you do not possess the technology to print black ink out of a solo black ink cartridge. THe first one I purchased had pieces falling out of it and had to take back.
1. First issue is the color cart is being used to print black at all
2. Second issue is color cart is being used WAY too much to print black/white docs.
3. Third issue is I cannot print black/white docs without a filled color cartridge, once color runs out, time to buy more ink.
If you are mainly using printer to print black and white pass on this printer.
This printer will use a wireless connection if you have a router or if a router is built in to your high speed Internet connection modem. If you do not have either of those you can still wirelessly connect it to your laptop or desktop PC if they support Wi-Fii. I have a router and connecting the printer to the wireless network was simple. After plugging the printer into the wall, the LCD screen lit up and I selected "Network Settings" then "Wireless Setup Wizard" on the printer menu. Then it displayed, "WPS Setup", the names of any wireless networks detected, and "unidentified network" in case you have wisely turned off the name broadcast on your wireless router so other people in range can't see it from their devices.
Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) was a snap; I activated the virtual button on my wireless router and selected "Push Button Connection" under "WPS Setup" on the printer menu. It connected in seconds, as indicated by the steady blue light on the front of the printer. Later, I connected it to another router manually, by clicking on the network name displayed on the printer LCD and then entering the password as prompted on the printer screen.Read more ›

I have read that its bad idea to use platform default character encoding for example when reading a text file and importing the text into arrays etc. Could you explain how that could affect cross platform performance , and how to get past that problem ? Is there an encoding that should be used for cross-platform applications ? Thanks
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
It's not about performance, but about showing and reading properly encoded text. There are a number of ways to cope with the problem:
I think the latter is a must. If you always set the jvm option, it will work, but if you forget to set it at some point, there will be unexpected failures at random places.
And the other question - stick to UTF-8.
See also this question.
Usually its no problem, if the read and written files are not exchanged between platforms. But if you have e.g. a configuration file created on windows (Win1252, similar to ISO8859-1 encoding), and then start your app on a recent linux (UTF-8 encoding), the config file will have problems with nearly all chars above 127 (like german Umlauts ä, ö, ü, or the € sign, or similar characters).
In this case just specify that you always use either encoding, and stick with it. If you only use plain ASCII (non latin extended!) files, you won't have problems so far.
The default encoding varies from OS to OS and even between users on the same machine in the case of some multilingual installs. This means that character data written by the application will vary and not be readable/appear corrupt if read using a different default encoding. The Euro character (€) will encode as the bytes
Legacy encodings can cause data loss since many of them only support a narrow range of code points.
The only supported way to change the default encoding is to change it in the operating system.
It is generally better to be explicit in choosing encodings and prefer a lossless Unicode encoding (usually UTF-8.) The decision to make "ANSI" encodings the default on Windows, for example, made more sense when when supporting Windows 95.

"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."
"-Layout worked well for our picture (elongated) -Customized the font type at the base of the photo with our family name -Used rounded corners, which added a really nice touch -Snowflake detail was sweet and did not overwhelm the picture -Felt quality was basically in line with the cards we also ordered from Minted. This was a good value for the price."
"I absolutely love this card. I searched on Tiny Prints for a while looking for a card that would meet my needs: 1 large photo, with "Happy Holidays" in a legible font, and a simple, elegant design. It sounds like an easy thing to achieve, but I wasn't having any luck until I found "Golden Joy"! The card is elegant, and the design is pretty but not distracting from the photo in the center. Pros: The cards arrived 3 days after I ordered them (way ahead of the predicted schedule, awesome!), and the paper was semi-glossy (which made the photo look great), and the font was legible and went well with the green and gold background I had chosen. Cons: I recommend picking a photo where the subjects are slightly farther away because the photo really is the majority of the card - I picked a pretty close up shot and I think its a little overpowering! (So learn from my mistake!) Overall, this is a gorgeous and classy card, and I would absolutely recommend it."
"Ordering this card was the best christmas card yet From tiny prints, I did a scalop edges and what a hit!! Gorgeous card... Texture quality colors are vibrant And the customer service are A1!!! Excellent customer service!!!have been ordering from ting prints for years and Will continue to do so, they never fail in giving excellence in return!!!"
"Soft and beautiful. Great Quality Print and Paper. Speedy Arrival. I opted for shimmer paper a little reluctantly and never looked back- it is gorgeous. Embodies the holiday spirit!"
